Horseback

Horseback8/2/15

If Horseback’s records seem heavy – as in, heavier even than most of their droning metal contemporaries – there is a reason for that. Jenks Miller – the sole member of Horseback, finds inspiration from the heaviest subject matter of them all – the apocalypse. And on Half Blood, the band’s fourth full-length and first new release for Relapse, Miller explains that “the apocalyptic violence is a metaphor for the change achieved by new knowledge. It is the raw invigoration of the Self.”
